Dingxiang Loeng, aged 49, shot himself in the head with a champagne cork
to punctuate a speech, at a party celebrating his anticipated 50th. The incident appears to be blamed on counterfeit alcohol and an over pressurized bottle, which appear to be problematic in China. World News Daily Report tells us "Many of the guests who had laughed at first, were visibly emotional after the announcement of Mr. Loeng’s death."
